- Former user (Deleted)
If you are unfamiliar with the DocuSign process, please refer to this help page: Basics of DocuSign.
You will find the GA Appointment Letter web form here.
Important: You must know who will be signing this form, and their respective titles.
Enter the GA’s Campus-ID or Empl-ID.
Their name and email will show up in the fields. Make sure the information is correct.
Select who will be signing this form.
NOTE: The titles “Department Head” and “PI” are the default, but all title fields can be customized once you reach the actual DocuSign form.
For example: I am preparing this form and know that the “Title Director 1” and “Title Director 2” will need to sign. I select the “Dept Head/Designee and PI” option. Once I submit the webform, I will be able to modify the DocuSign form. I go down to where the “Department Head/Designee” and “Principal Investigator” signatures are located. I double click the title and change it to my desired titles.
Select whether or not a Business Manager/Designee Signature is required.
Select if the completed form should get CC’d. The form can be CC’d to up to two people.
Select the Graduate Assistantship Type, whether the GA will be Full Time or Part Time, if the GA is obtaining their Masters or Doctoral degree. Writing the Degree Program is optional.
Select who will pay for the Mandatory Fees.
Select who is responsible for the GA’s health insurance.
Select if the GA is a Federal Work Study Student.
Select whether or not an addendum will be attached.
Select the Start and End Dates for the Graduate Assistantship Appointment. Then select the date the form needs to be signed by.
In the Search box, enter your department name and then fill out the remaining information. Click the “Next” button to be taken to the DocuSign form.
